  1. An absolute GIFT to be able to watch the world premiere of OMAR at Ojai Festival via stream Saturday night. There were hundreds of us from all over the world watching and chatting together. It has been and continues to be a glorious festival and I am so grateful to the Festival for making it available to so many people world-over via Livestream. I’m excited for the finale Sunday night. And will definitely contribute so this Festival can continue to be streamed next year. It’s a true gift.
